The privacy and safety of our participants is paramount to the Spite team. We recommend thoroughly reading this policy before taking video or pictures at the game. Photos/Video for In Game Use: One of the amazing benefits of Spite’s setting is the integration of modern technology into game play. By attending the game, all participants in Spite: A Science Fiction LARP consent to having photos or video taken of them for In Game role-play purposes. Any surveillance photos or video taken of participants may be used for In-Game purposes only. These are never to be publicly displayed or distributed without the consent of all involved parties. Commercial Photos/Videos Commercial use of photos and videos, beyond being posted on the main Spite Facebook Group and/or Spite Webpage and its forums, are not allowed. If there is any change to this stance, participants will be alerted well before the game. Required Permission Permission is required from anyone who will recognizably appear in a photo/video. This can be obtained by simply asking. If photos or videos from the game contain someone who doesn’t want to be displayed, their likeness may be edited/removed, so the piece can be posted. Refusal to take down or edit a photo/video (even on a private social media) may result in a temporary or permanent ban from Spite. Spite and its parent organization will have final say as to whether a photo or video is allowed to remain online. Participants may post game photos/videos to the Spite Facebook Group and/or to personal social media pages as long as everyone pictured has given permission. Players will have the option to opt out of their image being used by contacting the photographer. All photographers and videographers must be playing the game, acting in an in game way, and have appropriate tags for their equipment. They may...

When a character dies the player may rep the corpse for as long as they like. As soon as the player no longer wishes to rep their corpse, the player goes out of game and must immediately leave the area. For the purposes of IG explanation, the character’s body “turns to goo” by dissolving into an oily black substance and is no longer accessible in any fashion. This occurs due to the chemicals that cause rapid decomposition being released from the hives. If you wish to rep collecting the “goo” you will need to provide your own rep and pantomime collecting this substance. No data can be gathered from the “goo” beyond that organic matter was once present. Scientists have concluded that there is nothing more that can be gathered from decomposed Dromanae, so it might be a waste of time and resources to pursue that endeavor. We encourage players to be good sports and rep their bodies for a reasonable amount of time, particularly if under investigation. Allow people time to take IG photos and interact with the scene before wandering off. We also ask PCs to be understanding that NPCs will be needed for other roles, so they won’t always be able to rep a body for long periods of...

Greetings contractors, We’ve gotten a number of requests for information on how to change your Contracting Group. The following article should answer all your inquiries. If you find yourself still having questions after reading the article, please contact our community admin at: RaissaD@spitelarp.com. The quickest, easiest, and least costly way to change CGs is to make a new character. If you go this route, we ask you make an entirely new character and not “Old Character v. 2.0”. If you’d like to transfer an existing character to a new CG, that is a bit trickier and is handled on a case by case basis. Certain CGs may be harder to leave/join than others. Here are a few guidelines to help you prepare for the process: You will need an IG reason to switch, developed from role-play and happenings at events. You cannot simply change CGs via downtime or between events. You will need to work it out IG, at an event. This will most likely involve: Getting the permission of your current CG head. Getting the permission of the new CG head and most likely, the existing members of the CG. If you play a character that has crossed a particular CG, odds are they won’t want you. Making some kind of deal to transfer your contract, which will have some IG cost associated with it. This cost could be tasks, gear, credits, blackmail, etc. Contracts aren’t cheap and your new CG is essentially buying your contract out. FAQs Can’t I just wait until my contract expires to move to a new group? Yes, but contract duration are 5 years from your first game and you will still need to acquire permission from your new CG through IG interaction. Can I have a shorter contract? No. What if I just decide to break my contract or refuse to...

Changing SIC’s? Is your human character looking to “upgrade”? Here is what you need to know to changing your Species Identity Classification or SIC. First, you can only be one SIC, and you can only change from Human to either Psychic, Cyborg, or Exim; once there you cannot go back to human nor can you become another SIC (in game, the body and mind cannot take the intense trauma of more than once change). Androids can never change their SIC (no Blue Fairies in SPITE). Next, changing SIC can only be done between games, while you can express your desire to become something new, and perhaps to seek out the in game resources to do so, the actual change will happen when you email Logistics (logistics@spitelarp.com) and they make the change in the Character Manager. Finally, hoping for some more drama in regards to your transformation? This is where downtime actions come in. Email the plot team about your intentions, spend the 3 Hive Points and learn all about what it took to become the newer (hopefully better) you. Written by: Cass J, HftF & Refugee head of...
